Welcome to the KB8UYZ Web Page
My main interests are 6m and 2m SSB, although I occasionally get on 10m. The primary rig for 6m is a Yaesu FT-100D, running 100 watts into a 3-el beam at 30-ft. I also have an assortment of older "boatanchor" radios that I play with. I also enjoy 220, but where I'm located, there's not much on that band.
I operate a lot of VHF contests and I will QSL 100% the traditional way. I DO NOT use eQSL or any other electronic QSL service. Please send requests to me direct at the address on the card shown above.

Welcome to the KB8UYZ Web Page. This page is about amateur radio. I've been a licensed amateur radio operator since 1993, most of that time operating from Lansing, Michigan. After a quick move to Petoskey, Michigan in the summer of 2004, I have permanently relocated to Cincinnati, Ohio.
The main rigs are a Yaesu FT-100D, a Yaesu FT-8900 and an FT-2600. I also like to collect and restore vintage "Boatanchor" radios, primarily Hammarlunds, Hallicrafters, and Heathkits.
